STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS
Swift Current Residents Receive Recognition
Mr. Wall: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This weekend Southwest Booster
newspaper once again highlighted the accomplishments of a number
of my constituents that I am honoured to draw the Assembly’s
attention to this afternoon.
Students Against Drinking and
Driving have recently presented Stacy Rabik of Swift Current with
one of two provincial builder awards. Stacy first got involved in
SADD (Students Against Drinking and Driving) at the comp high
school and continued her involvement in her university career.
Recognition is also in order for
Swift Current Comprehensive High School student Ryan Medforth
who’s just been confirmed as an understudy for the very
important 2000 anniversary tour of Saskatchewan Express.
And, Mr. Speaker, on Friday of
last week, the WHL (Western Hockey League) confirmed what we in
Swift Current have known for a long time — by naming Todd
McLellan as the league’s Coach of the Year. Bryce Wandler, the
Bronco goaltender also received the Del Wilson Trophy for the top
netminder in the WHL.
And finally, Mr. Speaker,
congratulations to Ben Wiebe, a partner with Stark & Marsh
Chartered Accountants in Swift Current. Last week the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of Saskatchewan awarded Mr. Wiebe with the
high honour of the Distinguished Community Service Award. The
award recognizes Ben’s selfless dedication to minor hockey in
Swift Current and the integral role he has played in insuring that
Swift Current remains a strong and healthy WHL franchise city —
the smallest such city on the continent, Mr. Speaker.
Congratulations to Ben and all
of the Swift Current and area people who continue to demonstrate
that the best resource of Swift Current and area are our people.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
